I watched it last night - very very powerful. I met Dr. Slamon in March when he was here in Toronto for a Breast Cancer Symposium at Princess Margaret Hospital. After his talk, many of us went up to him to thank him for all his work, etc. I wish I had seen the movie beforehand, I had no idea how hard he pushed to keep the Herceptin project going.
all the best

Harry Connick Jr. is very easy on the eyes, BTW
